bollywood

Horror is such a culturally specific medium, I don't think I'll ever get more than an ironic enjoyment out of a Bollywood produced horror film. That said, I admire their ability to make completely earnest films that seem like they came straight from the "Tim & Eric" cutting room floor... Like this one, "Malayalam", translated to "Dracula Again" because, why not. Besides, all I need to know about Indian cinema I learned from Indian Thriller...

There is no area of the cinematic universe I am more under-versed on than Bollywood films. I believe I have seen a couple, I could not provide you titles, plotlines or performers and I would not, in all likelihood, recognize any of them if you were to show them to me a second time. This is not to say that I have no impressions of these film going experiences. What I remember is that much as they are reputed to do, the Hindi mega-tainment offerings I watched provided the audience with a staccato mixture of romance, action, melodrama, dance and mustache twirling bad guys.
